Just seen a bathroom sign that says "Femmes". Unsure if this is woke or not.

Tech bros who think digital is forever and that uploading your consciousness to a computer is immortality crack me up. Like bro, you'd be "immortal" on the computer for like a year until your own company sends out some software update that makes you incompatible and whoops, there goes TechBro.soul into the great Recycling Bin in the sky

honestly, any us politician that didnt immediately stick up for palestine when the genocide began should not be relected or be able to walk around in peace.

it took over 30,000 murdered palestinians and 6 months of your constituents begging you to do something and you spent those months locking your office and calling said constituents/activists "anti-semites" "terrorists" and "communists".

these people dont deserve a quiet status quo they hope for after whats been said and done. the least they can do is step down from their positions.

if there's one thing we can learn from this booping experience it's that we need to give people notes and interact with them for tumblr to be fun and thriving

It's 2023 and this joke is still somehow even funnier than ever.

People, especially games, get eldritch madness wrong a lot and it’s really such a shame.

An ant doesn’t start babbling when they see a circuit board. They find it strange, to them it is a landscape of strange angles and humming monoliths. They may be scared, but that is not madness.

Madness comes when the ant, for a moment, can see as a human does.

It understands those markings are words, symbols with meaning, like a pheromone but infinitely more complex. It can travel unimaginable distances, to lands unlike anything it has seen before. It knows of mirth, embarrassment, love, concepts unimaginable before this moment, and then…

It’s an ant again.

Echoes of things it cannot comprehend swirl around its mind. It cannot make use of this knowledge, but it still remembers. How is it supposed to return to its life? The more the ant saw the harder it is for it to forget. It needs to see it again, understand again. It will do anything to show others, to show itself, nothing else in this tiny world matters.

This is madness.

It’s taken Manitoba women from Jan. 1, 2023 until April 4, 2024 to make the same income as their male colleagues did last year.

Numbers from the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives (CCPA) show that, on average, women make $0.71 for every dollar a man makes, setting them back three months on an annual basis.

Molly McCracken, Manitoba Director of the CCPA, said racialized women make even less.

“Indigenous women earn $0.58 on the dollar compared to a white man, and women of colour earn $0.59 on the dollar,” she said, adding that none of these numbers have changed markedly in the past 30 years.

The impacts, she said, are not isolated to someone’s pocket. [...]

Notes from the poster @el-shab-hussein: I'm pretty sure "women of colour" here is supposed to mean Black, but liberals are allergic to acknowledging blackness or anti-blackness so they won't say that. Just a disclaimer.

I finally got around to finishing this doodle? Line art? Madness? After having it taped to my wall for months unfinished.

Ahmed reached out to me to help share his fundraiser. He is urgently trying to raise money to evacuate his 8-year-old little brother Mohammed from Gaza. He has raised €3,138 of his €10,000 goal so far! Please donate, and if you can’t donate, please share!

From Ahmed’s GFM:

PS:This campaign aims at getting out the child Mohamed from Gaza

My name is Ahmed, and I want to share the story of my brother with you, hoping to evoke empathy and understanding. Before the October 7th war, my younger brother's life was filled with joy and innocence. His days were spent playing and laughing, surrounded by love and care.

However, when the war started, everything changed for him. Each passing day brought more fear and uncertainty into his young life. The recent bombings in Gaza have shattered his world, leaving him and our family homeless and without any possessions. Our beloved home, a symbol of our efforts and love, was completely destroyed in this war.

In truth, my younger brother, Mohammed, had built a future in his mind and planned his life ahead. He was deeply passionate about his studies and dedicated to his dream of becoming a doctor one day. However, his dreams were shattered when the occupying forces bombed his school, the place where he pursued his education and nourished his aspirations. The destruction of his school not only robbed him of his academic environment but also extinguished the hope he held for a better future.

Despite the challenges he faces, Mohammed remains determined to overcome adversity and pursue his dream of becoming a doctor

Mohammed, my younger brother, was a natural talent in football. He possessed an innate skill on the field and dreamed of one day becoming a professional footballer. However, the recent bombings have devastated our community, and the football field where Mohammed used to showcase his talent lies in ruins. The destruction of his cherished playground has not only robbed him of his dreams but has also left him grappling with a sense of loss and hopelessness. Despite the turmoil, Mohammed's passion for the sport remains unwavering, a glimmer of hope amidst the chaos that surrounds us.

Mohammed, my younger brother, is grappling with severe psychological issues amid the turmoil in Gaza. He struggles to sleep, often waking up screaming from nightmares of the horrors he's witnessed. The loss of some of his friends has compounded his distress, and he struggles to comprehend the magnitude of the situation in this war-torn environment.

Anyways, calling shoplifting “urban foraging” is very funny, a useful euphemism, should be done more often.
